Verse 1:

   A augmentedA        D MajorD      A augmentedA
It's coming through a hole in the air

            D MajorD    A augmentedA
From those nights in Tiananmen Square

    D MajorD            DmDm
It's coming from the feel that this ain't exactly real

     A augmentedA
Or it's real, but it ain't exactly there

     C#C#
From the wars against disorder

     F# minorF#m
From the sirens night and day

     C#C#
From the fires of the homeless

     F# minorF#m
From the ashes of the gay

  E MajorE        D MajorD    A augmentedA
Democracy is coming to the USA

Verse 2:

 A augmentedA          D MajorD       A augmentedA
It's coming through a crack in the wall

A augmentedA        D MajorD     A augmentedA
On a visionary flood of alcohol

      D MajorD            DmDm
From the staggering account of the Sermon on the Mount

     A augmentedA
Which I don't pretend to understand at all

    C#C#              F# minorF#m
It's coming from the silence on the dock of the bay

     C#C#              F# minorF#m
From the brave, the bold, the battered heart of Chevrolet

 E MajorE        D MajorD    A augmentedA
Democracy is coming to the USA

Verse 3:

 A augmentedA           D MajorD       A augmentedA
It's coming from the sorrow in the street

 A augmentedA        D MajorD       A augmentedA
The holy places where the races meet

     D MajorD
From the homicidal bitchin'

      DmDm
That goes down in every kitchen

   A augmentedA
To determine who will serve and who will eat

     C#C#
From the wells of disappointment

     F# minorF#m
Where the women kneel to pray

     C#C#
For the grace of God in the desert here

    C# minorC#m
And the desert far away

 E MajorE         D MajorD    A augmentedA
Democracy is coming to the USA


Chorus:

   E MajorE     D MajorD
Sail on, sail on

  A augmentedA
O mighty ship of state

     E MajorE
To the shores of need

      D MajorD
Past the reefs of greed

       A augmentedA
Through the squalls of hate

   B minorBm    E MajorE    D MajorD A augmentedA
Sail on, sail on, sail on


Verse 4:

A augmentedA        D MajorD    A augmentedA
It's coming to America first

    A augmentedA      D MajorD       A augmentedA
The cradle of the best, of the worst

   D MajorD
It's here they've got the range

     DmDm
And the machinery for change

     A augmentedA
And it's here they've got the spiritual thirst

   C#C#
It's here the family's broken

     F# minorF#m
And it's here the lonely say

     C#C#
That the heart has got to open

   F# minorF#m
In a fundamental way

 E MajorE         D MajorD    A augmentedA
Democracy is coming to the USA


Verse 5:

    A augmentedA       D MajorD       A augmentedA
It's coming from the women and the men

  A augmentedA       D MajorD       A augmentedA
Oh baby, we'll be making love again

 D MajorD
We'll be going down so deep

     DmDm
That the river's going to weep

      A augmentedA
And the mountain's gonna shout "Amen"

    C#C#             F# minorF#m
It's coming like the tidal flood beneath the lunar sway

 C#C#           F# minorF#m
Imperial, mysterious, in amorous array

 E MajorE        D MajorD    A augmentedA
Democracy is coming to the USA


Chorus:

   E MajorE     D MajorD
Sail on, sail on

  A augmentedA
O mighty ship of state

     E MajorE
To the shores of need

     D MajorD
Past the reefs of greed

       A augmentedA
Through the squalls of hate

   B minorBm    E MajorE    D MajorD A augmentedA
Sail on, sail on, sail on

Verse 6:

   A augmentedA          D MajorD     A augmentedA
I'm sentimental, if you know what I mean

    A augmentedA            D MajorD        A augmentedA
Oh, I love the country, but I can't stand the scene

     D MajorD               DmDm
And I'm neither left or right, I'm just staying home tonight

     A augmentedA
Getting lost in that hopeless little screen

     C#C#                F# minorF#m
But I'm stubborn as those garbage bags that time cannot decay

   C#C#                 F# minorF#m
I'm junk, but I'm still holding up this little wild bouquet

 E MajorE           D MajorD    A augmentedA
Democracy is coming to, to the USA

D MajorD    A augmentedA
 To the USA

D MajorD    A augmentedA
 To the USA

D MajorD    A augmentedA
 To the USA
